Equal Area Cylindrical¶
Parameters¶
Note
All parameters are optional for the Equal Area Cylindrical projection.
-
+lat_ts
=<value>
¶ Latitude of true scale. Defines the latitude where scale is not distorted. Takes precedence over
+k_0
if both options are used together.Defaults to 0.0.
-
+lon_0
=<value>
¶ Longitude of projection center.
Defaults to 0.0.
-
+R
=<value>
¶ Radius of the sphere given in meters. If used in conjunction with
+ellps
+R
takes precedence.
-
+k_0
=<value>
¶ Scale factor. Determines scale factor used in the projection.
Defaults to 1.0.
-
+x_0
=<value>
¶ False easting.
Defaults to 0.0.
-
+y_0
=<value>
¶ False northing.
Defaults to 0.0.
Note
lat_ts
and k_0
are mutually exclusive. If lat_ts
is specified, it is equivalent to setting k_0
to
\(\frac{\cos \phi_{ts}}{\sqrt{1 - e^2 \sin^2 \phi_{ts}}}\)
